Make sure you’re only studying from the official Salesforce Exam Guides. You may find unofficial study guides or resources online that reference out-of-date methods, protocols, or data. There’s no point in memorizing incorrect information! Make sure you get your information straight from the source—and that’s always Trailhead and Salesforce.
Salesforce continues to produce lots of online content to help you prepare for exams. Look for videos, blogs, Help & Training documents, and even classes. When studying for my Tableau CRM & Einstein Discovery Consultant exam, I watched (over and over) the Tableau CRM Training video series on YouTube, produced by the Salesforce Product team.
You can also check for upcoming Salesforce Certification Day webinars. Led by Salesforce-certified Instructors, these free webinars help you get exam-ready with great certification tips.
3. Connect with your network
Find a mentor and study with someone who already has the afghanistan phone number list certification you want. Coworkers, bosses, or peers you find via the Trailblazer Community can all help you get the most out of your study sessions. In addition, someone with that certification can often help by providing the context of exam questions and make them more memorable or easier to understand.

For example, I once saw someone share a sample test question from a non-Salesforce site that read, “How long do records sit in the recycle bin?” The sample question’s answer was 30 days. But the correct answer is up to 15 days. If you’ve been around the ecosystem for a long time, you may recognize 30 days because that was the limit many years ago. But Salesforce always updates its documentation and practice exams to the current release, which is why it’s so important to focus on Salesforce resources when studying.
Another time, I was asked, “What would be the best options for automatic system backups?” My response was the Salesforce Export Service or Data Loader. About 5 minutes later, a text came through asking, “Why not reports?” I reminded her that the question was about automatic updates; reports would require someone to actually run and export them all. That’s not automatic.
